Bobjim, I'd recommend southern part of island - Chalok bay. Black Tip is a good place, but very hard to reach. I thing, sometimes you will want to visit shops / internet-cafe etc :)
I stayed in Chalok in the May 2005. Quiet place, but with 7-11 and all the amenities. Concerning diveshop, I can recommend Stingray Divers (situated on Chalok). I taken AOWD, deep diver course and several fun dives from them, while staying in nearest J.P. Resort :)
